He definitely has that possibility, bringing some decent skating along with energy, physical play, and has shown in the AHL to be a tremendous penalty killer.

What's the likelihood he comes over to play in the CHL vs staying in Finland to play in Liiga?

Pretty good I would think. They released previous RD import pick Maier who was selected shortly after Has by Peterborough. I read NB doesn't have any righty D at the moment with any experience so he could end up logging a lot of minutes if he's up for it. Stan Butler is a pretty solid developer on the defensive side so not a bad place to play. They might lack a bit offensively compared to some teams. He may benefit more physically and in making quicker decisions from playing with Tappara in Liiga play but you never know what sort of TOI he may get there. Whereas in North Bay he could very well be on their top pair.
Hope the Caps guide him that way, extra time to get used to the smaller rink and big minute potential are good things.
I am only posting this for the 2 second shot at the end of AJF.
Man Bun is no good. Let it flow my man, let it flow!

We could pretty well gift wrap him top pairing minutes with a solid dman, could be a good opportunity for him. After some down ish mediocre years North Bay has collected many talented 17/18/19 year olds and are poised to have a solid year. Trending upwards for sure and an addition of a big right shot dman would be huge as that’s the biggest hole right now (close to the only hole).

Happy now?
Got out to the 3-on-3 tournament today. Always a good time, and will share some thoughts a bit later.
FWIW, speaking for the longer-haired population, sometimes the man bun is necessary.

That CMM guy is doing his thing - scoring wrist shots from the right side near the net. That should work in the NHL. I tell you, he's scoring cup winning goal someday.

Might be necessary, but it NEVER looks good.

For interviews when pucks slamming against the near boards is even worse. I have no idea why they do these media scrums right off the rink.

3-on-3 Tournament Awards time!
The Ulf Dahlen Boardmaster Plaque
Winner: Garret Pilon - relentless, quick and precise with his stick, and stronger than his size would indicate
Other notables: Beck Malensyn, Brett Leason, Connor McMichael
The Rico Fata Best Skating Performance
Winner: Axel Jonsson-Fjallby - his skating really is special. Younger Hagelin-esque.
Other notables: Shane Gersich, Martin Fehervary, Martin Has
The Sasha Semin Golden Hands Award
Winner: Connor McMichael - the quick dangles in tight spaces are legit. This guy is going to make his living off the cycle.
Other finalists: Shane Gersich, Joe Snively, Garret Pilon
The Ivan Majesky "Holy Shot That Dude is a Monster" Medal
Winner: Tobias Geisser - Looked every bit as big as Protas, and is still lean. He's gonna be huge when he fills out.
Other finalists: Alex Alexeyev, Brett Leason, Aliaksei Protas
The Alex Oveckin Take Your Lunch Money Scholarship
Winner: Beck Malenstyn - I wish I'd been more attentive to who the victim was, but was too excited. Loose puck at center ice. Beck and victim #1 arrive at the same time, in full stride. Beck puts the guy on his ass, drives the middle and picks the corner of the goal. Highlight of the session for me.
The Bryan Muir Self-Forechecker of the Year
Winner: Aliaksei Protas - Poor guy. Skated himself into the corner on his own goal line against one forechecker. Just didn't have the quickness to shake him. He has an incredibly inefficient stride and was the only player I saw really sucking wind after a shift. Potentially fixable due to the poor fitness and mechanics.

Philipp Grubauer stops by MedStar Capitals Iceplex to watch Development Camp
Also went to camp Wednesday and took in some practice. Anyone in the area should go. They also have mad sales at the Kettler teamstore, 5 dollar shirts and hats, and 25 dollar hoodies and jackets. Definitely check it out.
